Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It selectively and competitively blocks the vasoconstricting and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively antagonising its binding to AT1 receptors.

Absorption: Readily absorbed from the GI tract. Bioavailability: 25-33%. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 1 hr (losartan); approx 3-4 hr (active metabolite).
Distribution: Volume of distribution: 34 L (losartan); 12 L (active metabolite). Plasma protein binding: >98%.
Metabolism: Metabolised primarily by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 isoenzymes to active carboxylic acid metabolite (E-3174).
